My wife and I were the only two people aboard the boat for our week of vacation. We became the crew. Our narrowboat, the Maid Marion, was 45 feet long and 6 feet wide. The inside was built like a modern-day camper. In the front of the boat we had a fixed double berth with a small dressing table, a small corner wardrobe, and a small amount of storage space under the foot of the bed. Moving to the rear, the next area had a private bath with a sink, a toilet, and a very small tub with a shower. Alongside the bath was a narrow passageway connecting the front bedroom with the kitchen/galley in the middle of the boat. The kitchen was well equipped with a refrigerator, a stove with four burners and an oven, a microwave, and a sink. All the necessary dishes, pots, pans, and cutlery were there. To the rear of the kitchen was the dining area, which could comfortably seat four adults for a meal. With the table removed and attached to the wall, the dining area can become a double berth. I believe the quarters are a little small for four adults but large enough for two adults and two smaller children. It was ideal for two adults. The boat comes with a television, radio, and CD player. Reception varies by location, so you may want to bring along a book or some cards, games, etc.
Before starting out, a staff person at the marina demonstrates how to handle the boat and how everything works. They even have a video you are required to view before navigating on the canal. The boat has a diesel motor and comes with a full fuel tank that holds more than enough fuel for a week's cruising. We stopped once during the week to add more fresh water. The boats are kept in excellent condition, and everything worked perfectly for us.
